2-3sliced meats of your choice. I like to roll my prosciutto like roses and fold my salami and ham. Sliced sausage is also always a good choice!

Instructions
Lay out your platter or board and visualize how you want to fill it.
I like to add bowls and small cups first and fill with jams and mustard then add small items in cups like olives and nuts.
Now fill in around the bowls with meat and cheese. You can make patterns and rows with sliced meats and roll prosciutto like roses and fold salami and ham.
Now add all other snacks like chocolates, flowers, and fillers.
